He discovered that avery planet has a ellipcial orbit, which means oval.


Do the planet have orbit?

Each planet is in its own orbit and obey's Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Newton later discovered that the Sun's gravity is what makes the planets move in their orbits in the way they do.


What scientist found the orbit of each planet to be ellipse?

Kepler discovered that the orbit of each planet is a rather than a circle - true or false?

The question cannot be answered because the key word is missing.


Kepler discovered that the orbit of each planet is an what rather than a perfect circle?

Johannes Kepler discovered that the Earth revolves/orbits the Sun in an ELLIPSE. He also discovered that the Sun is NOT at the centre of the ellipse, but at one of the foci ; (plural of focus). The other focal point being 'blind'. From this we have the definition, that as the Earth orbits the Sun , 'It sweeps equal arcs in equal times'. As the Earth orbits, it speeds up and slows down. It is moving at its fastest when passing the Sun at it nearest point ( perigee) and slowest when at its furthest point ( apogee). Have a look in Wikipedia under' Johannes Kepler.


Who discovered that the path followed by each planet is an ellipse?

It was Johannes Kepler in 1618.


The fact that each planets orbit is an ellipse was discovered by?

Johannes Kepler discovered that planets orbit the Sun in ellipses with varying eccentricities in the early 17th century. This became known as Kepler's first law of planetary motion and revolutionized our understanding of planetary orbits.


The fact that each planet's orbit is an ellipse was discovered by what man?

Johannes Kepler formulated the laws of planetary motion in the early 17th century, including the discovery that planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one of the foci.


What is the planet orbit?

The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.


What does Kepler first law state?

Kepler's 1st law of planetary motion state that Each planet moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus.


What is the orbit of planets?

The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.


Who discovered that each planet orbits the sun in an ellipse?

This particular innovation was made by Johannes Kepler, which resulted in the observations of the planets finally falling precisely into the calculations that were made with the heliocentric theory.
